Abstract

Knowledge graphs (KGs) have in recent years gained a large momentum both in academic research and in business applications. They have become a bridge between databases, artificial intelligence (AI), data science, the (semantic) web, linked data, and many other areas. In particular, in declarative AI, they have become a bridge between logic-based reasoning, and machine learning-based reasoning. Languages for KGs on the one hand, and systems for KGs – i.e., Knowledge Graph Managament System (KGMS) – on the other hand, have garnered increasing attention. Of particular importance are language and system extensions – such as probabilistic reasoning, numeric reasoning, etc. – supporting various real-world applications, and the business applications that can be built using such extensions.

In this work, we give an overview of the Vadalog language and system, a KGMS. We focus on three areas: (1) a basic overview, including an introduction to dependencies, the Datalog and Vadalog languages, (2) the extensions of the system, including arithmetic and aggregation, real-world data interfaces, temporal reasoning, and machine learning, and (3) the business applications, including: corporate governance, media intelligence, supply chains, collateral eligibility, hostile takeovers, smart anonymization, and anti-money laundering.

  1. 1.

    This formalization of the base case is slightly different from the natural definition but commonly assumed in the literature as it is more compact and formally equivalent.
